Zoom G1 FOUR Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

The Zoom G1 FOUR is a compact, powerful multi-effects processor designed for guitarists who want big tone without the bulk. It packs in 60+ built-in effects — everything from classic overdrives and distortion to more experimental sounds like ring modulation and sitar simulation.

With 13 amp and cabinet models, you can emulate iconic rig tones — clean to high-gain — all in a single pedal. You can run up to five effects simultaneously, chained any way you like, giving you deep signal routing flexibility. 

A 30-second built-in looper lets you layer parts with ease, while 68 rhythmic patterns (in various time signatures) let you jam along as you build your ideas. Store up to 50 custom patches, and don’t worry about losing them — there's an Auto-Save function to back up your sounds automatically.

Choose between two performance modes:

• PRESELECT — jump between patches seamlessly during performance 
• STOMP — turn individual effects on/off with a tap

Additional features:

• Onboard chromatic tuner (supports standard, drop, and open tunings)
• Auxiliary input to plug in your music player and jam along
• Lightweight and portable — runs on 4 × AA batteries (up to ~18 hours), or via USB bus power for firmware updates and connectivity. 
• Deep editing and patch management via Zoom’s free Guitar Lab software.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Incredible tonal variety in a small footprint — ideal for practice, home recording, or gigging.
• Great for songwriting: the looper and drum patterns give you tools to build and test ideas.
• Flexible performance options make it usable both on stage and in a desktop setup.
• Easy to back up and tweak patches with the Guitar Lab app.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, all-in-one multi-effects pedal that delivers serious versatility and performance, the Zoom G1 FOUR is a fantastic choice.
